The Green touch

Put a bottle of water outside. When it's frozen put it in the fridge.The electricity required to keep it cold inside will be reduced. I'm pretty sure it's worth it doing it all winter long here (and god knows the winter is long in Norway ;) ). Source: untrucparjour.org

Of course you don't have to put it in the bedroom. The important idea here is wait until it is cold before placing it in the fridge. Why? Because your fridge need to maintain to a certain - cold -  temperature. If you put hot things in it, it will consume more electricity to stay at a low level. On the contrary, if you add a frozen bottle for example, you fridge will be more "relaxed" and will consume less. These two tips of the day are even easier to apply in Tromsø (well, not that much anymore giving the temperatures, but still): -          A bottle of water placed outside all night during frozen winter, and then put in the fridge will also reduce your e...
